Actually I think it's opposite of that. Check the level with the motor running, when you shut off the engine there is a drain-back of fluid, and if you check it then it would appear to be very high. But it's been a lot of years since I had my automatic westy, so maybe I've got it wrong.

ATF level.  I'm curious now because it seems that according to
Bentley, the level goes up when the trans is warmed up and running
compared to cold and off.  Or am I misinterpreting the manual?  And
how does too much oil in the AT cause problems?

Thanks,
Edward
